Off the main tourist trail, at least for Americans, but this place is spectacular! In quiet village west of Orense, in beautiful hills surrounded by vineyards and chirping birds. Room was huge, with extremely high ceilings, balcony that overlooked the plaza and the mountains and vineyards. Super peaceful and inviting. Front desk staff extremely helpful, nice packet of local sites to explore, grounds and gardens beautiful. Hotel's restaurant has adequate breakfast (ham, chorizo, cheese, fresh fruit, croissants) excellent wine selection and dinner menu. But it is closed on Sundays and Mondays. There is a tavern in the plaza that is open, with delicious food, though. And there is a new restaurant, La Carpinteria, just down the hill in the town of Leiro. Food there is amazing, one of the best meals ever. In general, the food is delicious in Galicia, fresh fruits and seafood everywhere. And the surrounding area has beautiful scenery, the wineries of Ribeira are welcoming of visitors, though not in an overly commercialized way. They are family businesses and it is a breath of fresh air being there. Roman ruins abound, several churches from the Middle Ages, rural living. It's a magical place.
